The Governor’s office is working with food banks, food pantries, meal providers, homeless shelters, and advocates across the state to help address food supply and other issues, but the most IMMEDIATE NEED in the community is for volunteers to help package and distribute food.
If you are healthy, do not have health risk factors, have not been under quarantine, and can—please sign up to volunteer. Food banks like Roadrunner Food Bank in ABQ—need people to help package food to get it out to meal sites and smaller food banks across the state.
Pantries in every major community hub in the state also need help boxing food and getting it out. Volunteering to help provide these essential services is permitted under the Public Emergency Health Order and our food banks are following public health guidelines on social distancing.
